How to use the hob burners
Fig. 5
Hob burners
Each hob burner is controlled by a separate gas tap
operated by a control knob (fig. 5) which has 3
positions marked on the control panel, these are:
– Symbol : tap closed (burner off)
– Symbol : High (maximum)
– Symbol : Low (minimum)
Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the
selected position.
Lighting of the hob burners
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:
1 – Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise to the full flame position
marked by the symbol (fig. 5) and hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.
2 – Wait about ten seconds after the gas lighting before releasing the knob (starting
time for the valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired power.
Important
If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed
position, wait for at least 1
minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maxi-
mum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.
The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions
of liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point
the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the
indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, not between the
maximum aperture and closed positions.
N.B. When the hob is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions
and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.
